• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Ryker won't start when tire pressure is low

Nice video RH. Although I don't ryde a Ryker, I viewed to see if there was any info in it that might apply to my bike and I think there was. Thanks.
Re electric tire pumps; go to auto supply stores and you will see there are a few that come as tire repair kits, so you can pick and choose what pleases you.
 
Don't have one.....

I do not see a sensor for tire pressure could only be a balance thing but more the electronics that he mentioned. The only code or warning is the VSS which is basically a angle issue. I have set that off many times and it clears and on we ryde. Having a pump is not a bad Idea and there are many you can google I carry a mushroom plug kit with c02 cartrages....:thumbup:
 
MCM just did a comparison of small compressors and gave the highest marks to the Cyclepump from Bestrest products. Not cheap at $115, but does come with a lifetime warranty.

I made my own 12 volt pump using a cheapie $6 Harbor Freight one. I removed the plastic casing and added a sheet aluminum base. I store it in a camera case along with a tire repair kit. It's all very compact.
 
This guy has done a few video's. In his early videos he admits he has no motorcycle experience what so ever. But now he appears to be an expert. So, just because you saw it on the internet doesn't mean squat. If it were my Ryker, and knowing bikes the way I do, the first thing I would have done is disconnect the battery, let it set a while and reconnect. Probably all the dealer did anyway.
 
Hey RH. While a portable tire pump is always a nice thing to have along, I think you’ve misinterpreted the video. It had electronics issues that were rectified. As a side conversation, the dealer discussed sensitivity of these machines to tire pressures. We all know that’s true from a handling standpoint. But he never said that the failure to start was due to low tire pressure, or all they had to do was air up the tires.
 
In his early videos he admits he has no motorcycle experience what so ever. But now he appears to be an expert.

Your typical self-appointed Internet expert.
Instant fame.
But if he posts many other absurd things like this (won't start BECAUSE the tires are low) he will just a quickly go down in flames too.
 
Hi all ref Ryker won't start if tire pressure is LOW I dare not tell my biker mates THIS , they would laugh me off the car park regards Nico 75
 
I saw this thread and had to comment. I too have seen videos posted by this guy. I have commented on a few of his. His replies are a clear indication of his lack of experience and knowledge. Just goes to show you that anyone can be an expert on social media.
As far as a compressor is concerned, there are many out there and threads here to guide one. I carry both a compressor and a tire plug kit, just in case.

To each his own but I would never use that stuff......except maybe in a lawn mower.

If it does it's job, then you end up with a hole in the tire that is plugged only with some of that "goop" and you probably don't even know it.
I don't like what might happen next.
